Electrical Systems
Battery Disconnect Switch
The Battery Disconnect Switch (see photo) is located on the
Universal Docking Station. At times when auxiliary power will
NOT be needed:
• TURN the Battery Disconnect Switch to the OFF position
and REMOVE key.
• The Power Tongue Jack and all 12-Volt safety items
will remain operational.
When you are ready to use your RV’s interior features:
• REPLACE key, and TURN the Battery Disconnect Switch
to the ON position.
If the RV will be in STORAGE: Also DISCONNECT the battery
cables from the auxiliary battery terminals. See page 154,
Winterizing / RV Storage Preparation #12.
Calculating Electrical Load
While connected to external power and using appliances,
remember that the 120-volt electrical system can run a
maximum of 100 amps. If you overload the RV and/or camp-
ground electrical system, a circuit breaker trip may occur.
• Added together, the amperage of each
appliance and component running at the
same time, must NOT exceed 100 amps.
To calculate the amperage rating for each individual appliance,
divide the wattage by the voltage (both should be listed on the
appliance). For example: 1200 watts divided by 120 volts
equals 10 amps.
See the Next Page, Approximate Electrical Load Ratings.
Solar Docking Port (If So Equipped)
The Solar Docking Port is standard equipment, installed on
the roof of your RV. It is designed for use with either an OEM
or customer supplied Solar Power Charging System.
Replacing Light Bulbs (Customer Supplied)
• BEFORE replacing a bulb, turn OFF the light switch.
• Using the wrong bulb can overload the lamp circuit
and overheat the fixture, creating a FIRE HAZARD.
◦ CHECK that your replacement bulbs match the type,
wattage and voltage listed on the lamp fixture.
